WHAT WE DO

The TreeMediation®
program is the application of agronomic processes to environmental remediation problems
of soil and water. Since many of today's environmental contaminants are
comparable to chemicals long studied in the agricultural sciences, the TreeMediation
system has a wide variety of potential applications.

HOW IT WORKS

Trees for Treating Contaminants The TreeMediation system pumps ground water and treats many soil solution
contaminants (see diagram below). Tree roots spread aggressively through the soil to the aquifer -
effectively seeking out contaminants that are then adsorbed into the plant and
accumulated or metabolized (degraded).

Further, the root system acts as host for microbial populations and
transports them to the contaminants. The contaminants can then be degraded by
the microbes.
